HYDERABAD : A college in Hyderabad denied entry to burqa-clad students and also warned them that they cannot appear for exams until they took it off.
The incident took place at the K.V. Ranga Reddy Degree College for Women on Friday.
The students alleged that the management asked them to remove their burqas and when they refused they did not allow them to sit their exams.
After 30 minutes, the management allowed them into the examination hall after they removed their burqas.
Reacting to the incident, state Home Minister Mohammad Mahmood Ali said: “Some Headmaster or Principal might be doing this but our policy is totally secular. People can wear whatever they want but if you wear European dress, it will not be correct… We should wear good clothes…”
He also said that women should remain covered as much as possible and should not wear short dresses.
However, he said, “nowhere it is written that a burqa cannot be worn. We will take action”. — IANS
How to.l find out who.is.writing the.exam?
BJP did same in Udupi. Who did here?
KCR?
How will a person wearing Burkha be identified at exam hall?
How do you know if the person wearing Burkha is not carrying any papers or even a cellphone under the cover of her burkha ?
Politicians and,social activists should answer. .
Burqa is just for vote bank. We have many other priorities on top in India, example,
Vande Bharat vs over crowded General Classes ..
Privatizations vs Govt undertaking ..
Tax/loan defaulted Corporates vs GST impacted small traders ..
Gold medal vs No medal … list is going.
But our PM is always interested in flag off for Rich people ..
